Maintenance Safety Precautions

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

Suggested Maintenance Procedures

1.Before using your wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

2.Keep quick/quad-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer to Adjusting Quick-Release Axles on page 39 or Adjusting Quad-Release Handles on page 40.

WARNING

DO NOT use WD-40®, 3-in-1 oil®, or other penetrating lubricants on quick-release axles or camber inserts. Otherwise, binding and/or damage to the wheelchair may occur.

3. Clean quick-release axles and camber inserts once a week with a Teflon®lubricant.

WARNING

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre pressure (p.s.i.).

DO NOT overinflate the tyres. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tyre to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tyre pressure is on the sidewall of the tyre.

4. Recommended tyre pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tyre.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, the wheels and tyres should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if damaged.
